THE  WILD  BEASTS. 


James  and  George  had  been  good  boys  at 
school  all  the  week.  They  had  been  kind  and 
mild  to  their  play-mates,  and  their  fa-ther  said 
he  would  take  them  to  the  show.    • 

They  saw  there  a  great  ma-ny  wild  beasts  in 
ca-ges,  and  .some  with  a  chain  round  one  leg, 
made  fast  to  a  post. 

There  were  li-ons,  and  ti-gers,  and  el-e-phaiits. 
The  boys  walk-ed  round  slow-ly,  look-ing  at 
ev-er-y  thing.  They  felt  a  lit-tle  a-fraid  of  some 
of  the  beasts,  but  were  much  pleas-ed  with  most 
that  they  saw.

The  show-nmn  went'in-to  the  cage  with  the 
ii-on,  and  James  and  George  said  they  were  a- 
fraicl.     Ihrt'a  man,  who  sat  near  them,  told  th 
there  was  no  dan-ger.     The  show-man  struck 
li-on  Ayith  a   whip,   which    made   the   Ii-on    r< 
ver-y  loud,  and  look  cross,  but  he  did  not  hurt 
the  man. 

Janus  said.  "I  wish  the  man  would  come  out; 
I  do  not  like  to  see  him  in   the  cage.     That  big 
li-on  might  eat  him  up,   and   then  1  should 
sor-ry.      James  was  a  good  hoy,  and  did  not  like 
to  see  any  one  hint.  * 

Aft-er  they  had  seeifithe  show,  their  kind

I  hate  to  see  an  idle  dunce.

A  half  an  hour  too  late. 

I  hate  to  see  his  shabby  dress  ; 

The  buttons  off  his  clothes  ; 
With  blacking  on  his  hands  and  face, 

Instead  of  on  his  shoes. 

I  hate  to  see  a  scholar  gape, 
And  yawn  upon  his  seat ;     . 

Or  lay  his  head  upon  his  desk, 
As  if  almost  asleep. 

I  hate  to  see  a  boy  so  rude, 

That  one  may  think  him  raised 
In  some  wild  region  of  the -woods, 
.     And  but  half  civilized. 

I  hate  to  see  a  scholar's  desk 
With  toys  and  playthings  full, 

As  if  to  play  with  rattle-traps 
Were  all  he  did  at  school. 

I  hate  to  see  a  shabby  book. 

With  half  the  leaves  torn  out, 
And  used  as  if  its  owner  thought 

'Twas  made  to  toss  about.

SPRING. 

It  is  now  in  the  spring  of  the  year.  •  The  birds 
sing,  the  lambs  skip  on  the  lawn,  the  trees  put  forth 
their  tender  leaves,  the  grass  eovers  the  plains  with 
verdure,  and  nature  has  put  on  her  robes  of  beaut)' 

Caroline  has  gone*  out  to  gather  flowers.  She 
has  her  apron  nearly  full  of  them.  How  beauti- 
ful the  flowers  are ! 

Do  you  not  love  the  spring  of  the  year  1  Do 
you  not  love  the  birds,  and  the  green  grass,  and 
the  flowers,  and  the  trees,  and  the  brighX  sun  1 

But,  while  we  enjoy  these  things,  let  us  not  for- 
get who  gave  them  to  us.  God  is  the  author  and 
giver  of  all  our  blessings.

BATTLE  OF  FORT  MOULTRIE. 

AittOAg  the  earliest  battles  during  tlie  contest 
with  England  for  American  Independence,  was 
the  gallant  defence  of  Fort  Moultrie. 

This  fcvt  was  on  an  island,  at  the  mouth  of 
Charleston  harbour,  in  South  Carolina.  It  was  a 
rough  fort,  built  of  palmetto1  logs.  But  though 
the  fort  was  rough,  it  had  -  some  brave  man 
within  it.  And  bravely  did  they  defend  it, 
against  a  whole  fleet  of  the  enemy's  ships.  So 
well  did  they  return  the  fire,  that  the  enemy  was 
glad  to  escape,  with  the  loss  of  many  men  and 
much  damage  to  his  ships.

Twelve  of  the  brave  men    in  the   fort  • 
killed,  and  a  much  larger  numb  r  were  wounded 
by  the  balls  fired  from  the  ships.     The  h\     under 
which  they  fought  was  the  flag  .  ■     .    lina, 

— a  blue  flag,  with  a  crescent,  or  half  moW,  in 
white. 

This  was  but  one  of  the  many  battles  which 
were  fought,  and  these  brave  men  were  b"t  a 
small  part  of  the  many  thousands  who  gavi  their 
lives,  that  our  country  might  be  i  naPPY»

But  lie,  willing  to  justify  himself,  said  unto 
Jesus,  And  who  is  my  neighbor? 

And  Jesus,  answering,  said,  A  certain  man 
went  down  from  Jerusalem  to  Jericho,  and  fell 
amp'  '\  thieves,  which  stripped  him  of  his  rai- 
nier, ,  "'and  wounded  him,  and  departed,  leaving 
him  half  dead. 

And,  by  ch&Dce,  there  came  down  a  certain 
priest  that  way  ;  mid  when  lie  saw  him,  he  passed 
by  on  the  other  side. 

And  likewise  a  Levite,  when  he  was  at  the 
place,  came  and  looked  on  him,  and  passed  by  on 
the  other  side.

But  a  certain  Samaritan,  as  he  journeyed, 
came  where  he  was  ;  and  when  he  saw  him  he 
had  compassion  on  him. 

And  went  to  him,  and  bound  up  his  wounds, 
pouring  in  oil  and  wine,  and  set  him  on  his  own 
beasr,  and  brought  him  to  an  inn.  and  took  care 
of  him. 

And   on    the  morrow,    when    lie  departed,  he 
took  out  two  pence,  and  gave  them  to  the  host,  i 
an  1  said  unto  him,  Take  care  of  him  ;  and  what- 
soever  thou  spendest  more,  when  I  corwe  again  I  | 
will  repay  thee. 

Which,  now,  of  these  three,  thtnkest  thou,  was 
neighbor  unto  him  that  fell  among  the  thieves'? 

And  he  said,  lie  that  shewed  mercy  on  hkn.

JUST  WHAT  HE  WAS,  WHEN  A  BOY. 

A  few  evenings  since,  while  slowly,  making 
my  exit  from  a  crowded  lecture-room,  where  an 
appreciative,  audience  had  been  listening  with 
absorbed  interest  to  the  glowing  pictures  of  In- 
dia, presented  by  a  popular  and  gifted  lecturer,  an 
earnest  voice  by  my  side  exclaimed  : 

"  Just  what  he  was  when  he  was  a  boy.  I 
heard  him  offer  his  first  prayer  in  public,  and  I 
shall  never  forget  my  feelings.  He  was'  just  as 
earnest  then  as  now.  You  could  scarcely  breathe 
for  listening."

DERIVATIVE  WORDS, 

A  Derivative  is  a  word  that  is  formed  from  some  other 
word,  by  adding  one  or  more  syllables  to  it.  Thus,  from 
the  word  love,  we  have  lover,  loved,  loving,  lovely,  unloved, 
unlovely. 

The  part  thus  added  to  the  end  of  a  word  is  called  an 
affix. 

When  placed  at  the  beginning  of  a  word  it  is  called  a 
prefix. 

The  principal  of  these  affixes  and  prefixes  with  tiieir 
definitions  are  given  in  the  following  tables  :

LKSS0X  16: 


RULES  FOR  THE  FORMATION  OF  DERIVATIVES. 

1.  Words  of  one  syllable,  and  words  accented  on  the 
last  syllable,  when  they  end  with  a  single  consonant, 
preceded  by  a  single  vowel,  double  the  final  consonant 
before  an  additional  syllable  that  begins  with  a  vowel; 
as,  rob,  robber. 

Exceptions. — X,  z,  and  k  are  never  doubled. 

2.  A  final  consonant,  when  it  is  not  preceded  by  a 
single  vowel,  or  when  the  accent  is  not  on  the  last  syl- 
lable, remains  single  before  an  additional  syllable;  as, 
toil,  toiling  ;  visit,  visiting. 

o.  Words  ending  with  any  double  letter,  preserve  it 
double  before  any  additional  termination  not  beginning 
with  the  same  letter ;  as,  see,  seeing ;  hill,  hilly. 

4.  Words  ending  with  any  double  letter,  preserve  it  double 
in  all  words  formed  by  means  of  prefixes  ;  as,  spell,  misspell. 

5.  Primitive  words  ending  in  a  silent  e,  omit  e  before 
an  additional  syllable  beginning  with  a  vowel;  as,  re- 
move, removal ;  take,  taking. 

Exceptions. — Words  ending  in  ce  or  ge  retain  thS  e 
before  able  or  ous ;  as,  trace,   traceable.     The  e  is  re-

tailed  in  verbs   ending   in  oe  and  ee ;   as,  shoe,  shoeing  ■ 
see,  seeing. 

6.  Primitive  words  ending  in  e  silent,  usually  retain 
it  before  an  additional  syllable  beginning  with  a  conso- 
nant ;  as,  pale,  palen* 

Exceptions.  —  Awful,  argument;  abridgment,  duly, 
truly,  acknowledgment,  judgment,  wholly,  &c. 

7.  Primitive  words  ending  in  y,  preceded  by  a  conso- 
nant, change  the  y  into  i  before  any  termination  but  e, 
or  one  commencing  with  i;  as  pity,  pitiless. 

Exceptions. — The  y  is  retained  before  words  derived 
from  dry  and  shy;  as,  dryness,  shynet 

8.  Primitive  words  ending  in  y,  preceded  by  a  vowel, 
do  not  change  the  y  into  i;  as,  joy,  joyful. 

Exceptions.— Daily,  laid,  paid,  said,  &c.    c 

9.  Compound  words  usually  retain  the  spelling  oi  the 
words  that  compose  them  ;  as,  horse-man,  shell-fish. 

Exceptions. — In  permanent  compounds,  or  in  deriva- 
tive words,  of  which  they  are  not  the  roots,  the  words  full 
and  all  drop  one  I;  as,  handful  :  in  temporary  compounds 
they  retain  both;  as,  all-wise.  When  used  as  a  prefix 
miss  drops  one  s.  , 

$  B- — There  are  other  exceptions  to  some  of  these  rules 
too  numerous  to  be  introduced  into  an  elementary  book 
on  Orthography.  It  is  therefore  left  to  the  teacher  to 
point  them  out,  or  direct  the  pupil  to  such  sources  as  will 
give  him  the  desired  information. 

The  rules  given  above  are  sufficient  to  enable  the  pupil 
to  spell  most  of  the  derivative  words  in  the  language, 
when  he  has  learned  the  orthography  of  the  primitives 
from  which  they  are  derived.
